Little Life on An American Ranch - Chapter 709
Chapter 709 Dependencies
“The rabbit ignored me. After I fed two things, he still ignored me. I thought the rabbit was angry with me, so I opened my mouth and asked, little rabbit, why are you ignoring me! After a short pause The rabbit said to me, I don’t want to talk to you…”
The little girl Ning Ning talked about her little rabbit vividly beside the teacher, and the dozen or so dolls below listened with their eyes wide open.
Not to mention these little dolls, even the teacher listened very attentively, and couldn’t help smiling and nodding, thinking that he might praise Ning Ning’s imagination.
In about five minutes, Ning Ning shared the interesting stories about herself and the little rabbit with the teachers and classmates. As soon as the little girl’s words fell, the teacher immediately took the lead in applauding, applauding and calling at the same time.
“Students, have you heard? Ning Ning is not just observing, but also introducing anthropomorphic techniques in the observation, imagining a little rabbit as a character, and can also show the character in the dialogue with the little rabbit. Some of the character of the little rabbit…” the teacher whimpered.
She, like Jian Heng, never thought that the little rabbit that Ning Ning was talking about was indeed a big living person.
Ning Ning’s eyebrows and eyes were almost drawn together by the teacher’s praise now, and he returned to the table with a smile, and sat upright, pretending to be a good student.
Jian Heng is also facing a group of people now, but this group of people is not as friendly as the children sitting together, and they start to quarrel one by one, making Jian Heng feel like he is about to yawn .
This is a vote held in a small town. It can be called a referendum. Anyway, people with high scores have come, and every family living in the vicinity has sent representatives. There are about 400 people in the country. Not many, but on the Montana side, that’s the population of a medium-sized town. work
The topic of this discussion is still the question that Old Walsh said a few days ago, which is about whether to set up a Wolf King Festival. If it is very simple according to Jian Heng’s thinking, everyone come and vote, and the results come out on both sides Disperse, and solve the problem in less than five minutes. If there are many people who support it, it will be done. If there are many people who do not support it, it will not be done. It is a very simple problem.
Do not! These **** in America have to have a debate, and probably count on some weak-willed people to change their style.
Such a debate issue came up, and some people got angry while talking. The temper of the old cowboys was called a hot tempered guy, and Shen Debate soon turned into two tempered people fighting.
“What the hell!”
Jian Heng yawned and was about to leave. Even if he had a lot of time, Jian Heng was not interested in watching two old men fight here. They were still in their forties and fifty, and he didn’t know how the old men would get along with each other. For such a big anger.
Old Walsh sat next to Jian Heng, stretched out his hand and pulled Jian Heng to signal him to continue to sit down, and at the same time pouted at the two fighting.
As soon as Jian Heng turned his head, he found that it was the county magistrate, who was almost the biggest official in this area. He was caught by the police station, and he could manage everything except the council. Maybe it was the county magistrate. Well, it may be called something else, but Jian Heng will translate it as county magistrate for the time being.
The county magistrate here is not very majestic, and ordinary people don’t need to be a county magistrate. On the contrary, the county magistrate must maintain a demeanor in public. Simply put, ordinary people may be a little casual, but the county magistrate may say Public figures must maintain a so-called self-sufficiency and calmness, and only then can they appear to be self-restraining.
The county magistrate persuaded for a while to fight, and then the two let go, and each found a place to sit down, just like two old bulls, staring at each other with wide-eyed eyes.
Jian Heng didn’t think about what the county magistrate would come here to do. Usually such a moment is close to the first, and the candidates will come when they need to shine.
Waiting for this person to speak, Jian Heng suddenly understood that the purpose was two words: donation!
What is the loss of money for? To build a performance venue, that is to say, the town plans to build an all-weather performance venue that can be used all year round. The area is not large, which is equivalent to the size of a school gymnasium, which can accommodate five or six hundred people. Kind of like a small movie theater.
Now all the performances are in the open air, whether for performance or watching, they are usually wearing leather jackets and thick trousers. It’s really hard to talk about comfort. Maybe some tourists from China think this is new, such a big snow, There are so many open-air performances, food stalls and so on, it’s fun to play.
But the people in Montana can’t bear it. It’s not that the Americans are arrogant, but that everyone is used to seeing the snow. Who wants to be with the wind and snow when watching the show?
“This group of politicians, no one can compare to them in their knack for seeing every stitch.” Jian Heng muttered in a low voice.
Old Walsh had sharp ears, and he laughed twice when he heard it: “Otherwise, how can you call him a politician?”
When it came to donating money, the eyes of the audience quickly focused on several people present, and Jian Heng was one of them, because it can be said that in the small town now, if Jian Heng wants to say that he has no money, almost everyone in the town He is poor, and now the largest ranch in the town is Jian Heng’s Silent Lake Ranch, which also has the highest income every year. Even if the merged land has not yet generated profits, Jian Heng is already the richest man in the town.
Jian Heng’s side is naturally generous. He stretched out his hand and lost a hundred thousand dollars. He lives in a small town and lives in a small town. Americans like this. When they accept you, you have to show your love for the small town ‘Come on, Jian Heng understands, so he is always willing to do good in this kind of thing.
Just a little bit of people, and soon almost enough money to start work. As for the rest of the town, you can use the income of the town to pay back slowly. In fact, this is really not a big deal for the current town. The burden, at most three to five years, will be paid off. Of course, Chinese tourists must maintain the current momentum.
After losing the money, everyone seemed to be drained of energy when they voted again. They voted one by one, and then began to count the votes. The signs come out.
Jian Heng saw that there was no point in waiting any longer, so he turned his body and prepared to leave. Who knew that he hadn’t waited to stand up yet, and found the mayor and the county magistrate walking towards him with smiles.
I’m going to go, it’s not good!
As soon as he saw the two of them, a thought jumped out of Jian Heng’s heart. As the newly promoted richest man in the town, Jian Heng has little influence on the choice of the mayor and the county magistrate, but no American politician will give up making friends with rich people like Jian Heng, because political The further up the road, the greater the power of money needed.
It seems that there are many politicians in the United States, but relatively speaking, the rich are fixed. Therefore, sometimes, the more rich people standing behind, the greater the power of a politician.
Squeezing a smile from his face, Jian Heng greeted the two people who sat next to him, and then exchanged pleasantries.
After chatting, Jian Heng felt relieved, because this time, neither of them came here for alms, but to ask Jian Heng for advice.
”This should not reduce the number of tourists significantly!”
Jian Heng couldn’t make up his mind for a while, because now the two are worried about whether the number of tourists from China can maintain the current number once the winter is over?
Hearing the question from the two, Jian Heng realized that the town had unknowingly suffered from dependence on Chinese tourists. Both businessmen and ordinary people have reaped a lot of benefits from Chinese tourists. To put it simply, even the waiters who serve dishes in restaurants have increased their income by half compared to before. Think about it If a person gets a waiter with 3,000 dollars a month, would he still think about getting the previous salary of 2,000 dollars? That is obviously impossible.
Therefore, as a politician, you have to think about how to retain Chinese guests, and regard this matter as a highlight of your political career. They don’t understand Chinese people, but Jian Heng does, so these two people came to ask Jian Heng about this matter.
“How to say?”
The magistrate looks like you taught me.
Jian Heng suddenly missed the Chinese-style politeness a little bit. If it was changed to China, it must be the county magistrate’s treat at this time. To actually be able to look at him with a shy face and eagerly put on an expression that is about to be safe, this is really unreasonable.
“I’m a little bit worried that they’ll go to places like California, San Francisco”
“Actually, you also have to see that we have our own characteristics, that is, our side is not hot in summer, and the hottest is only about 20 degrees. The temperature of horseback riding and camping is just right…” Jian Hengyi didn’t have a clue for a while, Anyway, there is a bell on the foot, and I want to (ring) and chew (foot) wherever I want.
“It seems that we have to improve our own service level.”
Facing the competition from an established tourist destination like California, the two are still quite worried.
Jian Heng is not worried here, because he doesn’t point to Chinese tourists to eat. To be precise, as long as Hollywood is still there, and the United States is dominated by rich people, then Jian Heng’s business will start.
After chatting for about twenty minutes, Jian Heng returned home as soon as the conversation was over. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ning Ning telling Sun Xiuying, Damai, and Mai that he was praised by the teacher in class.
When the little girl turned her head and saw Jian Heng coming back, she immediately stretched out her little finger and poked the little star on her body: “Look, brother, the teacher praised me again today.”
“Okay, yes!”
Jian Heng became a little numb when he heard the teacher’s praise, and he didn’t know whether the little girl reported good news or not bad news or what. Anyway, when she went to school in the United States, the little girl turned from a naughty child into a top student all of a sudden.
